Dispersion effect on mode‐locked ring‐type erbium‐doped fiber laser was experimentally observed. Cutback method was used on the cavity length to vary the dispersion. Stable pulse trains with 9.27‐MHz frequency at optimum pulse duration of 864 fs were achieved when the cavity was composed of 17‐m single‐mode fiber with 5‐m gain medium. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
